Linux is Linux: it matters that Linux is GPL'd because it's probably the most widely distributed kernel on earth. If it hadn't been when it was a hobby project in 1991, then this kernel with all of this development effort in it would be exploited. If Linus had changed licenses, there would be corpo-Linux, a fork before the licensing change, and there'd be free-Linux, and we'd all probably be using corpo-Linux, the free one would have died.
